The spectrum is comprised of an average of 10 MHz in the 700 MHz band, 30 MHz in the 1900 MHz PCS band, and 44 MHz in the AWS band. In January 2015, the FCC announced that T-Mobile was the winning bidder for AWS-3 spectrum licenses covering approximately 97 million people for an aggregate bid price of $1.8 billion. T-Mobile paid the FCC $1.4 billion for the AWS- 3 spectrum licenses in February 2015, which was net of the $0.4 billion deposit paid to the FCC in October T-Mobile received the AWS-3 spectrum licenses early in the second quarter of The Company expects to participate in future FCC spectrum auctions including the broadcast incentive auction. A-Block Update T-Mobile owns or has agreements to own 700 MHz A-Block spectrum covering 190 million people or approximately 60% of the U.S. population and more than 70% of the Company s existing customer base. The spectrum covers 9 of the top 10 market areas and 24 of the top 30 market areas in the U.S. As of the end of the first quarter of 2015, T-Mobile had deployed its 700 MHz A-Block spectrum in 55 market areas. New launches in the first quarter of 2015 included the cities of Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia, Tampa, San Antonio, and Detroit. The Company expects to continue to aggressively roll-out new 700 MHz sites in Several Band 12 capable handsets, including the Samsung Galaxy S6, are currently available in the market. More Band 12 capable handsets are expected to become available in the remainder of Approximately 81% of the population covered by the Company s A-Block spectrum is free and clear and ready to be deployed or will be ready for deployment in The remainder is encumbered by Channel 51 broadcasts, generally limiting T-Mobile s ability to use the spectrum until after the broadcast incumbencies are resolved. The Company has already entered into agreements to relocate broadcasters to new frequencies or operate concurrently in 13 markets covering more than 52 million people, making those markets available for launch in

7 METROPCS Integration and Expansion The MetroPCS customer base continues to rapidly migrate off the legacy CDMA network. Currently, less than 500,000 customers remain on the MetroPCS CDMA network. Approximately 80% of the MetroPCS spectrum on a MHz/POP basis has already been re-farmed and integrated into the T-Mobile network at the end of the first quarter of 2015 compared to 73% at the end of the fourth quarter of MetroPCS CDMA Network Decommi ssi on i n g Ti mel i n e M ar ket Networ k Sh u tdown Date Boston Jul -14 Las Vegas Jul -14 Phi l adel phi a Oct-14 San Franci sco Oct-14 Los Angeles Oct-14 Sacramento Oct-14 Atl anta Jan-15 Detroi t Jan-15 Synergies and Integration Costs In the first quarter of 2015, T-Mobile decommissioned the CDMA portion of the MetroPCS networks in Atlanta and the Detroit metro area, bringing the overall total to 8 market shutdowns since the close of the business combination, with only 3 major markets left. These network shutdowns will provide the CDMA customers of MetroPCS with access to a faster 4G LTE network, free up spectrum that can be re-used to further improve the speed and quality of the T-Mobile network, and enable the Company to realize the synergies from running a single network structure. Total decommissioning costs for CDMA network shutdowns amounted to $128 million in the first quarter of The Company expects to decommission all the remaining CDMA markets in 2015, and expects to incur additional network decommissioning costs in the range of $375 to $475 million with substantially all the costs to be recognized in Network decommissioning costs primarily relate to the acceleration of lease costs for decommissioned cell sites, and are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

The net revenue deferral for the initial 10GB allotment per qualifying customer from Data Stash is expected to fully reverse itself during Sequentially, the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the non-cash net revenue deferral for Data Stash and higher losses on equipment sales which were strategic investments in growth in the early part of 2015, consistent with the Company s previously announced intentions. Excluding the impact from Data Stash, Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2015 decreased 14.3% sequentially. Year-over-year, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher branded postpaid and prepaid revenues from growth in the customer base, offset in part by higher SG&A expenses associated with customer growth and a reduction of Adjusted EBITDA from the net revenue deferral for Data Stash. Excluding the impact from Data Stash, Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2015 increased 37.9% year-over-year.

25 Definitions of Terms Operating and financial measures are utilized by T-Mobile's management to evaluate its operating performance and, in certain cases, its ability to meet liquidity requirements. Although companies in the wireless industry may not define measures in precisely the same way, T-Mobile believes the measures facilitate key operating performance comparisons with other companies in the wireless industry to provide management, investors, and analysts with useful information to assess and evaluate past performance and assist in forecasting future performance. 1. Customer - SIM card with a unique T-Mobile mobile identity number which generates revenue. Branded customers generally include customers that are qualified either for postpaid service, where they generally pay after incurring service, or prepaid service, where they generally pay in advance. Wholesale customers include Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) customers that operate on T-Mobile's network, but are managed by wholesale partners. 2. Churn - Number of customers whose service was discontinued as a percentage of the average number of customers during the specified period. 3. Customers per account - The number of branded postpaid customers as of the end of the period divided by the number of branded postpaid accounts as of the end of the period. An account may include branded postpaid phone and mobile broadband customers. 4. Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA) - Average monthly branded postpaid service revenue earned per account. Branded postpaid service revenues for the specified period divided by the average number of branded postpaid accounts during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. T-Mobile considers branded postpaid ARPA to be indicative of its revenue growth potential given the increase in the average number of branded postpaid phone customers per account and increased penetration of mobile broadband devices. Average Billings Per Account (ABPA) - Average monthly branded postpaid service revenue earned from customers plus equipment installment plan (EIP) billings divided by the average number of branded postpaid accounts during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. T- Mobile believes average branded postpaid customer billings per account is indicative of estimated cash collections, including equipment installments, from T-Mobile's customers each month on a per account basis. Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) - Average monthly service revenue earned from customers. Service revenues for the specified period divided by the average customers during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. Branded postpaid phone ARPU excludes mobile broadband customers and related revenues. Average Billings per User (ABPU) - Average monthly branded postpaid service revenue earned from customers plus EIP billings divided by the average branded postpaid customers during the period, further divided by the number of months in the period. T-Mobile believes branded postpaid ABPU is indicative of estimated cash collections, including equipment installments, from T-Mobile's customers each month. Service revenues - Branded postpaid, including handset insurance, branded prepaid, wholesale, and roaming and other service revenues. 5. Cost of services - Costs to operate and maintain T-Mobile's networks, including direct switch and cell site costs, such as rent, fixed line costs, utilities, maintenance, and labor costs associated with network employees; long distance costs; regulatory fees; roaming fees paid to other carriers; fixed and variable costs paid to third parties for the use of proprietary data applications. Cost of equipment sales - Costs to sell T-Mobile's equipment, including equipment, accessories, inventory adjustments, shipping, and warranty expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses - Salaries and wages and benefits not directly attributable to a service or product; bad debt charges; taxes other than income taxes; advertising and sales commission costs; customer billing; call center and information technology costs; regulatory fees; professional service fees; and rent and utilities for retail and administrative space. 6. Adjusted EBITDA - Earnings before interest expense (net of interest income), tax, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and expenses not reflective of T-Mobile's ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-gaap financial measure utilized by T-Mobile's management to monitor the financial performance of its operations. T-Mobile uses Adjusted EBITDA internally as a metric to evaluate and compensate its personnel and management for their performance, and as a benchmark to evaluate T-Mobile's operating performance in comparison to its competitors. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure its ability to provide cash flows to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements, and to fund future growth. T-Mobile believes analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate overall operating performance and facilitate comparisons with other wireless communications companies. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from operations, net income, or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is detailed in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures schedule. 7. Cash capital expenditures - Amounts paid for construction and the purchase of property and equipment. 8. Smartphones - UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ 21/HSPA+ 42/4G LTE enabled converged devices, which integrate voice and data services. 9. Simple Free Cash Flow - Adjusted EBITDA less cash capital expenditures. Simple Free Cash Flow is utilized by management as a measure of liquidity and an indicator of how much cash is generated from the ordinary course of business operations. Simple free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. 10. Net debt - Short-term debt, long-term debt to affiliates, and long-term debt (excluding tower obligations), less cash and cash equivalents. 24
